Chapter 73, Raising Commercial Capital
Z Zhao's camp was surrounded again.
The general who knows the strong and sweet head wants to know what's going on with God's punishment. But this time Zu Zhao did not treat them frankly, because it is better for a peerless invention such as explosives to be controlled in his hands, otherwise the future situation will not be able to control.
Lu Zhi kept looking at the firecrackers in his hand, that is, those generals had a frightened expression on their faces. After three or four more firecrackers, their faces became curious babies.
"Superintendent, I don't know if there are any such firecrackers. It's really enjoyable. I think we should take this kind of firecrackers out to celebrate after we win the battle in the future!" A person next to him will say his opinion next to him.
When Zu Zhao patted his thigh, isn't the firecracker just for celebration? This is really a talent.
"Wrong, this is a powerful weapon of the country, a super killer that can instantly reverse the disadvantages of the battlefield. How can it be casually taken out to celebrate? It's simply a violent thing!" Lu Zhi's face was against.
The generals came to serve boiled fish. After eating Zu Zhao's dishes, eating the food in the barracks really felt like eating pig food. Moreover, there is still good wine in Zu Zhao's tent. The so-called good wine is the high-level wine that Zu Zhao used to distil once, and he drank a breath of it to feel comfortable.
The man's hand is short and his mouth is short. It seems that it doesn't work. In the era of the Three Kingdoms, there seems to be no such concept. Maybe it doesn't work for Zu Zhao.
After the generals are full of wine and food, they want to give Zu Zhao some reward, such as mixing some of the grain and grass in their army to Zu Zhao, while others will give Zu Zhao some rags and leather armor for human favors.
Zu Zhao thanked him one by one. A group of turtles from the Three Kingdoms took garbage as treasures and gave them away, but Zu Zhao really didn't like it.
......
Out of the big account, Zu Zhao arrived at the concentration of the exiles in Ji County.
Now the floating people are in good condition to set up a tent, and the bad condition is to sleep in the open air. Others dig a hole in the ground like a mouse, dry the hole with firewood, and live directly in the hole, just like a ground mouse, just to live.
"Good Lord of Post!"
......
All kinds of greetings sounded. This was not the first time Zu Zhao had come here. Looking at the yellow and thin faces of these people, Zu Zhao felt pain in his heart, but he had no choice.
At present, the court is short of food and can't even raise military food for suppressing bandits. The most fundamental reason why Cheng Zhiyuan lives in Youzhou is that he can rob it without food, and how can the army of the court, an upright Confucian like Lu Zhi, forcibly rob grain and grass?
So the army of the Eastern Han Dynasty fought painfully with these yellow scarf thieves while hoping that there would be a good harvest in autumn, so that there would be enough food and grass to suppress the bandits.
The face of a character in the corner of the exile attracted him very much.
Among many yellow-skinned people, he looks particularly different, because this guy has blue eyes.
Hungren! The tall horse was white with hair all over his body. At first glance, he thought it was a high-level orangutan without mutation.
"Cock!"
This guy carried a package of things and nibbled, looking at the people around him with contempt.
Zhu Zhao was shocked by this white man who could be seen in the Three Kingdoms era.
I wipe it! This white man is not a mutant, is he? Why did white people appear in the Three Kingdoms era?
Look at what this guy is holding in his hand is nothing but potatoes! This guy is... eating potatoes raw! And these potatoes are full of green buds, and this guy doesn't mind that potatoes have a bitter taste at this moment.
"Come on, arrest him!" When Zu Zhao saw the potatoes, his whole body trembled. This foreign devil in the Three Kingdoms didn't know how to eat potatoes, he knew it! But he knows more about potatoes, which can produce 10,000 catties of high-yielding crops per mu of land! Ten acres of land is 100 million catties.
Even if it is a discount, it will be reduced to one-tenth, ten mu of land is 10,000 catties!
The first foreign devil in the Three Kingdoms era was arrested and used puzzledly: "why?" Words to ask.
Zu Zhao didn't care whether he was love or exclusive. He grabbed the bag in his hand and took a closer look, and a surprise came to his heart.
Sweet potatoes, corn, two crops that should be on the other side of the earth at this moment actually appeared in the Three Kingdoms era!
So Zu Zhao picked up his half-baked English and chatted with the first foreign devil who wandered to the Three Kingdoms in a "toxic and poisonous" language.
While holding gestures, the two exchanged English in a very style on the moon and Mars. Finally, under the comparison of the foreign devils, they knew that the foreign devils liked sailing freely and liked to make wooden boats, but the most unfortunate thing was his worst thing, because of the monsoon and the tide. The masterpiece made his ship uncontrollable and entered the turbulence. After drifting for nearly a year, he came to the Three Kingdoms.
Finally, Zu Zhao ended the question and answer with a fluent sentence.
This foreign devil is called Muhammad, rubble.
"I will exchange your things for good food, and you can be my friend. Follow me now!" Zu Zhao smiled and invited the first foreign devil of the Three Kingdoms.
The rubble suddenly fell in love, and he had successfully climbed to his thigh in his heart.
The teenager in front of him actually exchanged a lot of rice for those bitter potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes and other things. Oh, my God, food is so precious, how can he exchange those things that are not short of money?
The potatoes in Zu Zhao's hand are not small. I feel that this should be the most primitive potato variety, corn and sweet potatoes. If Zu Zhao wants to grow, it should be the most primitive variety of the Three Kingdoms.
Directly fill the pottery jar with soil, and then let people fix the dung, add water, separate potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, and use eleven pottery jars in the front and back.
The gravel classmate volunteered to help clean it up. By the way, there was a request, that is, to mix with Zu Zhao. If the requirements are not high, they are just to have a full stomach. Looking at the gravel, they are very experienced in treating crops. When to water and when to remove insects, they are all very thorough. Zu Zhao directly agreed. He joked that this is agronomy. Doctor, the price of inviting such a person is three meals, which is sure to make a profit!
After the pottery jar was finished, Zu Zhao ordered Zu Ping to take good care of these treasures, and no one can get close to them!
Three months! It only takes three months for him to harvest the seeds of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn. No matter where the land is owned, there will be no need to worry about food and fodder.
Because there is no shortage of food and grass, Lu Zhi has been moving in Youzhou, and Cheng Zhiyuan has not put his mind in the Yellow Turban Army because he was deceived by Zu Zhao's mythology. Instead, he began to secretly move closer to the upper coastal area. Everything in his hand was taught to his subordinate Yuanfeng. Yuanfeng has long heard of Zu Zhao's prestige, especially It is Zu Zhao who has such a terrible existence as "God's Punishment", and he has never come to Ji County to provoke.
So the two sides lasted from the end of March to the end of July, and there were mostly some scattered battles.
In three months, Zu Zhao's potatoes, potatoes and corn grown in the Three Kingdoms have successfully blossomed and bear fruit.
When the rubble excitedly smashed the pottery jar, the potatoes dug out had 200 catties, 200 catties of potatoes, and 100 catties of corn.
While there was no war between the two sides, Zu Zhao returned to Xu Wuzu's house with potatoes and corn seeds.
"What? Plant this kind of seeds? Uncle, I can't agree!" It is the first time that Zu Ju has such a clear opposition to Zu Zhao.
"Yes, can you eat this thing? It won't be poisonous, will it? If it's poisonous, it's a big problem!"
Almost everyone in the ancestral family objected.
The biggest reason is that these things have never been seen. As the gentry in the era of the Three Kingdoms, they are very dedicated, that is, they cherish the land very much.
I haven't eaten it!
It's not a problem. Zu Zhao patted his head and cooked it himself. Of course, the potatoes were stewed with spareribs, and the sweet potatoes were directly cut into shredded and salad. The corn was better. It was directly crushed to make corn cakes and baked! Natural green and pollution-free.
When the three things were made, Taigong Zuju was surprised, and the whole ancestral family was surprised up and down, and even the rubble grower was also surprised.
Fragrant, the only fragrance before.
Stewed potatoes with pork ribs in a big pot were robbed at once.
Tornatoes, especially the rice crust, are divided little by little, and the food almost swallowed their fingers into their stomachs.
Sweet potato salad has never been so sweet.
When Zu Zhao wanted to stew the ribs again, he was opposed by Zu Ju: "These immortals are not something that we can eat. Don't take them anymore. If you take them again, you will be violent. We need to gather the strength of the whole family to plant them. Once planted well, the ancestral family can prosper for 500 years!"
The ancestor, who has never brag, is also full of words, and his eyes are shining, as if he sees his name for thousands of years.
"Yes, this should be a fairy! It should be cherished!"
"This is a God-given fairy. If you don't plant it, it's disrespect for heaven!"
In the hall, the ancestral family kept their saliva while discussing the specific planting process. Zu Zhao was surrounded by fruit fans, but this time they were all foodie fans.
In the end, the ancestral family took out the best ten mu of land to plant these three existences, and I believe that a bumper harvest will be achieved in autumn.
The ancestral family was full of confidence and sent 100 soldiers next to ten mu of land.
The defense is very strict, and there are always clan elders who come to check and vow to plant the fairy well.
So the three "fairies" took root in the ancestral family.
After getting the three immortals properly, Zu Zhao left Xu Wu and returned to Ji County where he was stationed. The news came that Wang Lin, the assassin of Youzhou, came to Ji County to inspect the army, among which Zu Zhao's battalion was the first as a model battalion.
